Abstract

The US Supreme Court, by decision dated June 17, ended the current litigation over the constitutionality of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act by its ruling (7‐2) that the plaintiffs lack Article III standing (California et al. v. Texas et al.). That is, the challenge based on elimination of the penalty underlying the individual insurance mandate failed because the plaintiffs were unable to show the requisite past or future injury fairly traceable to the defendants' conduct.
